Meet Sue De Legge
A native to the Windy City, Chicago, Illinois I lived in the suburb of Northbrook, and owned property in Lake Barrington. In 1990, my family and I decided to make the move to beautiful San Diego. My enthusiasm for its lifestyle, weather, and Mediterranean architecture is what inspired me to take up the real estate profession. I am very passionate about helping people, working with each client to realize their goals in buying or selling their home. My clients become part of my adopted family and I truly treat their money as if it were my own. I’m not a traditional realtor; I am a consultant and partner in your real estate ventures. I am very proactive - knocking on doors, calling around the community in which a client wants to buy or sell, and utilizing my extensive network of contacts that I’ve built over the 20 years of living and working in the San Diego North County area. But I firmly believe it’s not how much you know, it’s how much you care! I invest my time and money for my clients to achieve the best outcome because I love what I do, and it is my personal goal to satisfy each client so much that they feel completely comfortable and confident referring their families and friends to me. In fact, most of my clients are referrals and repeat clients! This repeat business attests to the level of trust my clients have in my professional abilities – when they work with me, they know they’ll be taken care of.
Because I have successfully completed hundreds of transactions as well as numerous specialized training courses and certifications, I can honestly say I have the knowledge and proven ability to overcome any obstacle and navigate any situation to the benefit of my clients. Not only am I determined to succeed with each one, but I have the tools to do so – such as being able to anticipate problems and provide the best solutions in a timely manner. The real estate business is always changing, so I make sure to keep up with the latest technology updates, mandatory legal risk management training, continuing education for the organizations I belong to and meeting the requirements to maintain all my certifications. I know San Diego’s North County extremely well because of the years of having lived and worked in the area. When I represent buyers, I know where the best buys and best areas of investment are. I am fully versed in community amenities, school districts, rates of appreciation – all of which are crucial to know when choosing a home. When I represent sellers, I assume all the risk up front and I spend a great deal of time and energy promoting and selling my listings to the local community, realtors and to buyers internationally via the Internet. I use my own marketing dollars and considerable expertise to promote your home, create excitement in potential buyers, and articulate your home’s worth. I provide extra services, such as having your home professionally photographed and consulting with a home stager, if needed. In order to provide you with the same level of attention and service I would expect, I have a team of licensed, experienced professionals working with me to attend to the detailed aspects of your transaction which contributes greatly to your move and the successful close of escrow.

Closing or Settlement >Walk Through Woes
Buyers can be a little cranky on closing day if things go wrong during the walk-through inspection. For example, the sellers' dependable old dishwasher might stop midway through its cycle and the bathroom sink might clog unexpectedly. These situations can create anxiety for the buyers and sellers, but such problems are quite common and usually simple to resolve.
Most purchase agreements require that the major mechanical systems and the appliances being conveyed are in working order at the time of the closing. Defects are often discovered during the structural inspection, allowing the sellers plenty of time to have the repairs made. Occasionally there are last-minute breakdowns or defects that are not spotted until the walk-through inspection. In that case, an agreement can be made with the sellers at the closing to escrow funds for the repair or replacement of the items in question.
